63551 - Pferd 5-Inch Type 1 Cut-Off Wheel .045 for Steel and Stainless

Optimized Cutting Performance for Low-Power Grinders

The Pferd 63551 is a specialized 5-inch cut-off wheel engineered to maximize performance on 5-7 Amp angle grinders. In industrial environments, matching the abrasive bond to the power source is critical for efficiency. Standard wheels often possess a bond hardness designed for high-torque, high-amperage tools; when used on smaller or older 5-7 Amp grinders, these standard wheels can glaze over, generating excessive heat and reducing cutting speed. This Pferd wheel addresses that challenge with a formulation that breaks down appropriately under lower pressure, ensuring continuous sharp grain exposure.

Constructed with high-quality Aluminum Oxide A grain, this wheel delivers aggressive cutting action on both Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel (INOX). The .045-inch thickness minimizes material loss and reduces the thermal load on the workpiece, which is essential when working with heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel. The Type 1 (flat) profile allows for deep cuts and is ideal for parting operations, slotting, and cutting sheet metal or structural profiles.

This wheel represents Pferd's commitment to application-specific abrasive solutions. By tailoring the matrix to the tool's power output, operators experience reduced vibration, less tool bog-down, and a significantly longer wheel life compared to using a generic wheel on a low-amp machine. It is an excellent choice for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) where varied tool types are encountered.
